Grilled Swordfish with Aji Verde and Blistered Corn

Ingredients

  • 4 swordfish steaks

  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil (evoo)

  • Salt

  • ¾ cup Aioli or mayonnaise

  • 2 cloves garlic, peeled

  • 2 scallions

  • 1 jalapeno

  • 2 limes, juiced

  • 1 bunch of cilantro

  • 2 ears of corn

Preparation

  1. Start by bringing up the grill to a high heat. Make sure the grill grates are cleaned and seasoned with oil.

  2. To make the aji verde, start by cutting the jalapeno in half, lengthwise, and removing the seeds and white flesh with a spoon. If you want a bit of heat, leave the white flesh in the jalapeno. Roughly chop the jalapeno as well as the scallions and cilantro and add to a blender with the garlic, aioli, and lime juice. Blend on high until smooth, season with salt to taste and set aside.

  3. Lightly brush the swordfish steaks and the corn with EVOO and season with salt on both sides. Transfer the swordfish to the grill and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side.

  4. Place the ears of corn on the grill to blister, turning as needed.

  5. Remove the swordfish from the grill and transfer to a platter. Liberally spoon the aji verde over the fish.

  6. Cut the corn off of the cob and scatter over the entire platter.

  7. Serve with extra lime wedges and sprigs of fresh cilantro.
